3. Roll out a portion into a 200 mm. (8”) diameter circle without using any flour for rolling. Trim slightly from 4 sides to get a perfect square.
4. Cut out into approx. 50 mm. * 50 mm. (2” * 2”) square pieces using a knife. You will get approx. 9 pieces and prick them with a fork at equal distance.

6. Arrange all the crackers on a baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200° c (400° f) for 15 minutes or till they turn light brown and crisp from both the sides, while turning twice in between after every 5 minutes. Keep aside to cool slightly.
